Aboriginal Australians make up only 3% of the Australian population. This contrasts, according to the 2021 Census, with 33% from England, 9.5% from Ireland, 8.6% from Scotland, 5.5% from China and 4.4% from Italy. There are still more nationalities, which number more than Indigenous Australians.
They arrived in what is now known as Australia more than 50,000 years ago and thus have long and deep relationships with this land.
